Oral history is a research method that can be used to explore the fabric of everyday experience, past or present.
Want to know what life on a farm was like in the 1940s? An older farmer can tell you.
He or she can also describe the complex changes that led us from then to now.
This presentation by Greg Sharrow explores the richness and significance of oral history as a research method, illustrated with excerpts from his field recordings, featuring remarkable people and memorable stories.
